The school board of the Mystery Lake School District recently voted in favour of allowing five grade five classes to participate in a provincial survey on mental health.

The first of its kind survey is being issued by Healthy Child Manitoba, a program run by the province that works with families to support their children within strong communities.

Superintendent of Education Services and Programming Lorie Henderson supports the survey, saying that the province being as involved as it is in the welfare of children is a good thing.

No official word yet on when the survey will be taking place.
